On a long triangular lot in Sant Joan d’Alacant, Bamboo House (Casa Bambu) protects the street with a quiet concrete shell and opens to the garden with verandas and bamboo screens that filter light, air, and views.
Ground‑floor living stays compact to free patios and soil, while the larger upper floor throws shade that cools outdoor areas throughout the day.
Bamboo screens work as natural brise‑soleil, softening glare, preserving privacy, and keeping cross‑ventilation active without sacrificing daylight.
The palette follows function: mass and thermal inertia to the street; porosity and filtered boundaries to the garden for a calm, climate‑tuned routine.
Passive strategies—orientation, daylight, shading, ventilation, and envelope tightness—pair with active systems like on‑site solar PV and greywater reuse.
